The Transient Shawl is knit in with one ball of HiKoo's brand new, 100% baby alpaca yarn "Concentric". The yarn is named after the concentric circles that this cake of yarn so closely resembles. Concentric is made from four non-plied strands, which create the distinctive color change. The colors change at a regulated sequence allowing for a wide range of design possibilities.

Pictured is a prototype of the shawl. This simple garter stitch example is in the exact shape of the Transient Shawl and knit in color #1022 Rainbow’s End.

The final Transient Shawl will feature different stitch pattern with each color change. You will find yourself racing to the next color change to find out what comes next! Imagine how much prettier the real version will be with multiple stitch patterns inserted at the thirteen color changes.

As always, we're delighted to help you find all the information you'll need to join the knit along and knit the project!

HiKoo's “Concentric” is a beautiful worsted weight gradient yarn. Long color sequences of this yarn transition smoothly and will send your project on a fun color journey! Made from super soft baby alpaca, this yarn begs to be made into a stunning shawl, but would also look great as a cozy sweater or other colorful accessory.

Wonderfully warm and supple, the Sierra Sun Hat and Mittens have a classic southwestern style. Three colors make this set super cute, but only two colors are knit at one time ... making it a fun and easy colorwork project. Knit a set for yourself or some one you love ... they would make an amazing gift!

The Sierra Sun Hat and Mittens feature easy colorwork that is perfect for those new to the technique, while still being fun for the more experienced colorwork knitter. The classic southwestern sun motifs are accented with nifty picot edges.

We love the Ozone, Tomato and Brown combination ... but we've also put together 7 other amazing colorways ... see them below. Easy and fun knitting you will will treasure for years to come!

Harmony or Melody? Hum a few bars as you knit this easy wrap!Kits feature Malabrigo Silkpaca and Sock yarns

It's hard to believe that a project so easy could be so attractive … the “Melodious Wrap” strikes the perfect chord between simplicity and beauty. We've put together several new color combos to tempt your needles. This kit is great for gift knitting ... or for gifting to your favorite knitter!

This simple asymmetrical triangular wrap consists of alternating rows of Stockinette stitch in one yarn and Reverse Stockinette stitch in a second yarn. Basic increases and decreases give it it's shape, and a sneaky little wrapping technique means you don't have to cut your yarn at the color changes … so there are just four tails to weave in!

We've put together eight different kits for the Melodious Wrap for you to choose from … see below. There is something for everyone:brights, several pretty autumn inpsired palettes, plus a nice neutral and a classic red and tan combo. Each kit contains the pattern and a skein each of two next-to-skin soft yarns from Malabrigo: Silkpaca and Malabrigo Sock!
